Local dentist changing name, location

SHELBY -- A local dentist office will soon expand its services, with plans for a new location, a new name and improved technology to provide care.

Young and Associates has changed its name to Shelby Dental Care.

The office is building a new facility on West Ross Grove Road and plans to move from its North Lafayette Street office in the next year.

“The new office will be bigger, and will be the most technologically advanced dentist office in the area,” said Breton Young, a dentist and the office owner. "The new office and equipment isn’t going to change what our dentists do, but instead how our dentists do it. The new office will improve the process that handles programs like Invisalign braces and will include new diagnostic equipment for X-rays."

Invisalign is an alternative to traditional metal braces and provides patients with removable plastic teeth aligners, Young said.

The office will also offer a "same-day" denture program that will allow patients to visit the office and receive dentures on the day of their visit, instead of having to wait six to eight weeks for the equipment.

The increased office space also means more room for staff, Young said.
